Being a responsible gambler is something that is only easy to say, I mean it is something that is difficult to put into practice when one is already addicted. Some gamblers may still be responsible to a certain extent, but when they have lost so much money, then they will suffer various consequences including complicated financial ones. Family problems, emotional instability and even depression are the bad consequences of a serious addiction, but every casino seems to remind its customers to gamble responsibly and gamble wisely.
A Responsible gambler should do all the things you have said, but the number four is not for only gambling and emotion and feeling. When the person is depressed he might want tobe on high so he can forget many challenges of life. Gambling and drinking and drugs are different things that eating people's money in the society. And I don't know why it doesn't s difficult for people to get rid of them. If the person is not a drunker, he would be a gambler and the two goes together and when the two goes together then the person is in trouble. He can't save money for investment or to his wife.
A Responsible gambler avoid many things to plan for his future. And the main thing for a responsible gambler is the budget of every week.

Heard a lot of brilliant advice like those enumerated here in this thread, but I don't seem to see any positive impact to gamblers who've been changed towards their thoughts. In fact, there's several of them still battling many struggles financially because they can't even manage their time and finances due to this gambling problem. Being held responsible to each practices during gambling activities, should be observed not just by motivational words and the rest of the mindset will follow.
I don't think reading advices online is enough to make a positive impact on a gambler. Those words should be coming from a guardian who has gone down the weary road of gambling. Additionally, communications with responsible gamblers helps to shape the way players think before wagering money on a casino. Gambling shouldn't be seen as a single man activity, with no adviser or supervisor. Those who barely could control themselves needs the hands of other experienced gamblers to make changes in their gaming habit.
Responsible gambling comes from the mind, if we can determined not to get involved in the way others irresponsible ones are gambling and work towards it, then we are going to deduce that we are on the right track over time gambling responsible to the extent we are being proud of ourselves, we may also have to deal with the way of our emotional behavior because this also go in so many ways in determining for the way we are gambling, because its not by only saying it like that, but we may need to act it as well in other to make it more convenient for us to go by all we have set up concerning gambling.
Responsible gambling is gambling with sense and not acting like somebody that does not have sense. There are things you should be avoiding as a gambler because there is no good in them and they will only make you broker. You do not have to be so aggressive with gambling but be in control by deciding when you will gamble and when you will stop because if you allow gambling to do the deciding for you, it will end you in so much debts. Do not say you will not drink alcohol or enjoy life because you can still avoid doing them but you would not be having a successful time gambling and you can still get addicted. Gambling alone every day can turn you into a gambling addict regardless if you are abusing substances.
For me responsible gambling in addition to four major points in first post is an ability to end game or session. All that one more game, one last bet, I will gamble till my balance is specific number, gamble till specific hours, for me are signs of being irresponsible. But if a person say, no matter how his session goes, is able to say stop and end the game, that I count as important and sign of responsibility.
I have a different opinion - responsible gambling is gambling that is done with its own awareness and is able to deal with any problems as a result of addiction. You will be said to be a responsible gambler if you can really minimize the impact of gambling, both psychologically and financially.Someone who is affected by losing both psychologically and financially - then they are not a responsible gambler. That's responsible gambling in my opinion regardless of how much money you spend gambling.
That is correct. Most people cannot fight back addiction and most people are not responsible gamblers. It is based on these type of persons that the casinos are making most of their profit as they see that these people won't stop and the casino is happy with such behavior, I do not trust those ads or even pop-ups in different major casinos when they tell you some advice on responsible gambling, that is just facade and they don't really care, they are just complying with law and governments in most of such advice. What is worse is that no one audits some of the online casinos much different than the physical ones, the online ones know their advantages which the big one is playing from anywhere and they can fine tune the RTP of slot machines to their liking without anyone validating if they are doing the same RTP that the slot provider has by default. Also someone should audit the slot providers and make them or restrict them to use only one level of RTP and not different levels so people are not "robbed" by such mechanisms put in place exactly for this.
4. Avoid alcohol, drugs and emotion.
Avoid life?
Some people have the desire to get into adventure and try to make a career out of sports betting...but very few succeed. Just a dumb guess maybe 1 in a million. When someone decides to go that way, it would be wise to turn off emotions and follow all these rules, without all of these there is no long-term success, but it is not for everyone. You have to dedicate yourself to it, and take time for it, not everyone has patience and perseverance... I know I don't.
So we can just have fun with some money we can afford to lose... not everyone wishes to be a pro.
LOL! You are absolutely right. Avoiding alcohol, drugs, and emotion makes life seem pretty dull! A little harmless fun with gambling can be entertaining if we are responsible. We only live once after all!
But everything in moderation, I say.

A truly responsible gambler in my opinion will never be in a situation where they are emotional due to experiencing defeat, they will not be affected by any results because from the beginning it is clear that they are already aware of the risks, but rationally the awareness to achieve good responsibility can only be had when you really understand what and how gambling really is as a whole, and that is the reason why understanding and knowing about what activities you are actually facing is very important.
4. Avoid alcohol, drugs and emotion.
In other to succeed when it comes to gambling you need to avoid alcohol, drugs and emotions when trying to predict a game because these things can impair judgement.
Gamblers should be mentally alert whenever they want to gamble. If they are drunk, they should avoid gambling
If they are feeling sleepy, they should avoid gambling
If they are sick, sad, angry, hurt or heartbroken, they should avoid gambling. They should only gamble when they can think straight.

1. Set your Limits
First thing must to do after preparing ourselves for any result that may come from our gambling activity. The main problem for some gamblers is that they do not know how to set their limit wisely depending on their own financial situation.
2. Avoid Chasing your Losses
Chasing for losses is common thing because every gambler who lost some money must be willing to get what they have lost back, but they do not realize that there is no guarantee of getting what they lost back. 3. Gamble for Entertainment, Not Income.
Gambling for entertainment only is rare to happen or it can be said as impossible, it is not wrong IMO as long as gamblers aware and ready with all the possible risk. As long as gamblers can control themselves that the possible risk will not affect their life financially and emotionally, I dont think gambling for money is wrong because it is the nature of gambling.
4. Avoid alcohol, drugs and emotion.
I drink alcohol but not much but I dont consume drugs at all, so I have no issue with this things. Emotion control is the main key here because if we can control our emotion, we will be able to avoid bad things such as getting drunk while gambling.
If you look at it, maybe this method can be one of the effective ways to do it. But it doesn't work for everyone. If they are really out of control, they will go home and go back to the casino to gamble again, and if it is online gambling then they will do anything to be able to deposit money again, maybe they will even be willing to go a few kilometers for it. This is based on the experience that I saw from someone I know, yes they look for the nearest place to be able to deposit money again to gamble, even though the place is quite far and it takes a few minutes to get there, but they still do it.
That is online gambling makes you losing money so quickly than offline or landbase casino which wouldn't requires you to pass through stress to make deposit. But online you can keep deposition using your master credit card or debit to fund your account so quickly. Usually, a responsible gambler can never gamble out of control rather would gamble moderately knowing too well that have budgets and limits to gamble, so even though they exhausted themselves from their initial deposit they wouldn't go further to make additional deposit to gamble. 
Containing yourself in front of your games is indeed the main point of this activity. Also, before you sit down, you should know the extent of where you are at with your financials so you know how much you can spend for that session and should tell yourself to stop once you deplete that amount.
It will be very easy for the gambler to manage (contain) their intensed urge of continuing gambling if they only go along with just a small amount that they had in mind to spend and also not go along with their credit card or their device for bank transaction. If they only go along with the intended amount, once they exhaust that money, they will not have any option but to go back home. If the person is also gambling online, they should only deposit the amount that they are willing to spend at that point in time. If they have intentions of gambling the next day, they should only make deposits on that day with only the amount they wish to spend that day. It's possible that a gambler can deposit the money they want to use in gambling for one week and they end up losing that money in just one day.
Everything you said op is correct and your points are good, now for me the safest thing to do is what you said in no. 1 which is to set your limits. Because when you do this and get used to doing it, I'm sure you will always be able to control your own emotions and discipline yourself as a gambler.
And besides this, there is also no room in your mind for greed to consume or control you in your mind, and the result you will get from this is a responsible gambler player at least.

2. Avoid Chasing your Losses
This one is very important, avoid trying to win back the money you have lost, if you want to recover all the money you have lost you will keep losing and that will lead you to depression, so forget about your lose and move forward it will help you to relax with an open mind.
I like the know your limit part because many bankruptcy and shii is as a result of gambling more than you can afford and overestimating your skill or skill of a person you trust with the set of games.
Emotions creeps in when you gamble more than you can afford and undergo revenge gambling.
Always remember that losses is inevitable
Move back understand why you failed and start again with no revenge in mind.

Gamblers, like all people, believe in miracles and that they are the chosen ones of luck. And if such a gambler gets at least a minimally large win, then he thinks that this is the result of his skills and merits. And unfortunately, this becomes the first step to a complete loss of self-control. Therefore, you must always keep your mind cool and think "I am the one who was just lucky with the bet, I am not the chosen one."
